Started as a comics editor

Chapter 38 Noble Man
"Anyway, I'm sorry."

Shang Tao left a last word, bowed slightly, and then walked away.

...leaving Tang Yao standing there confused.

What kind of apology is this?
Tang Yao watched Shang Tao leave, frowned slightly, and felt a little suspicious.

This Director Shang acted very strangely when he came back to return the storyboards... Sometimes he was asked to appease the cartoonist who drew "Fate/Zero", saying that there would definitely be an opportunity for serialization, and sometimes he apologized to her.

What the hell is going on here? Am I trying to comfort myself? What serialization? Is there some misunderstanding?

And please explain clearly what you are apologizing for.

Really are……

But soon, Tang Yao was too lazy to think about it, because it didn't seem very important... Anyway, the thing that mattered most to her had been completed.

Fate/Zero Takes Advantage of Manga Awards Promotion! Done!

And two comics! They are both included!
The thing she was most worried about, that "Fate/Zero" was a serialized work, did not seem to be a problem. According to Shang Tao, Vice President Zhao agreed directly without even asking her to explain.

This saved her a lot of effort.

After all, Tang Yao thought that she was not good at fooling people. How could this serialized work be promoted through new media... She didn't know how to answer this question.

Anyway, although I don't know what Shang Tao apologized for, as long as the result is good~
"Yes!"

After Tang Yao and Shang Tao completely left the reception room, she jumped lightly on the spot, her proud chest rising and falling, looking very happy.

This is indeed cause for celebration.

Because all the pre-steps have been completed.

And the next step...

Tang Yao stopped jumping, took out her cell phone happily, and found Li Xue's contact information.

It’s almost time to get off work, now all I need is someone of honor!

……

Eleventh floor.

It's still the rest area.

However, since it was time to get off work, there was no one else here except Li Xue.

And today's elder sister... is still as beautiful as ever, her makeup is still so delicate, and she is still wearing the classic black and white combination. The two straight and round long legs under the skirt are still wrapped in soft black stockings, without a trace of fat, and the shape is extremely beautiful.

This was also the first time Tang Yao saw Li Xue after get off work.

And she can maintain an elegant and calm appearance after a day of work, with bright and clear eyes and the gentleness that is unique to an older sister... I have to say, she is really amazing.

not to mention.

This older sister is not only beautiful, but also carries Tang Yao's hopes.

So when Tang Yao saw Li Xue, she was completely incoherent: "Your Excellency... No, honored guest, no, Miss Li."

"Tang Yao, don't talk about other things first."

Li Xue heard Tang Yao's nonsense and surprisingly did not make fun of her. Instead, she reached out and pressed Tang Yao's shoulder. After taking a deep breath, she said solemnly, "You have to compensate me."

"Hmm? Me? Why should I accompany you?"

Tang Yao was a little confused.

Li Xue continued, "No matter what, compensate me."

"Miss Li...did something happen?"

When Tang Yao heard this, she looked at Li Xue with some concern and immediately lost interest in talking about investment.

She reached out and gently grasped her white wrist, frowning slightly, but said in a gentle tone: "It's okay, it's okay, I will accompany you, so what happened, and what exactly do you want to accompany you for?"

Li Xue: "Come home with me."

Tang Yao: “???”

"Then, you just sit aside and eat. Eat enough for two bento boxes!"

Li Xue's delicate and beautiful face was filled with frustration, as if she had recalled some unpleasant memories. She angrily said, "Why didn't you come today? Why didn't you come to eat lunch? Do you know how stressful it is for me to open two lunch boxes by myself? Do you know how stressful it is to eat two bento boxes by myself? Do you know how high the calories are? All the weight loss results I've gained this week are... gone to waste! You have to compensate me!"

"..."

Tang Yao's face was still slightly flushed. Upon hearing this, she immediately let go of her wrist and glared at her gently: "You did this on purpose, didn't you?!"

Li Xue was slightly startled, then blinked: "What do you mean by intentional?"

Tang Yao: “…”

"and many more."

Li Xue looked at the somewhat shy girl in front of her, and suddenly reacted. Then she burst into laughter and gently shook her shoulders. "You don't think that going home with me means accompanying me, do you? Accompanying by my left ear?"

Is she shy because of this? Even her ears are red? Isn't this too cute!?

"..."

Tang Yao couldn't hold it any longer. She leaned forward slightly, bringing their bodies closer together. Then she reached out and gently pinched her neck, shaking her: "You must have done this on purpose!"

"I really ate two bento boxes." Li Xue didn't mind at all. Instead, she reached out and gently touched Tang Yao's red ears, saying tremblingly, "And my weight loss this week was really in vain. Do you know what this means to a woman who is almost 27?"

"Touch your belly before you say that!"

Tang Yao let go of her neck and replied angrily, "I was worried about you... I don't even want to talk about business anymore. What's the point of losing weight? Isn't it better to have a little more flesh? I think it's great!"

"Is that so?"

When Li Xue heard Tang Yao's words, she tiptoed slightly and turned sideways. Then she looked down at her own body and seemed a little happy: "You got away with it... But you must come to dinner tomorrow. I will make you a high-calorie lunch box tomorrow! If you want to gain weight, we will gain weight together."

"Row."

Tang Yao agreed, and then looked at the happy elder sister in front of her... To be honest, she was reluctant to leave.

But no matter how reluctant you are, sometimes there is nothing you can do about life.

"but……"

Tang Yao paused, calmed down, and said, "I don't think I can stay with you for much longer, Miss Li."

"Ok?"

Li Xue was stunned and looked at Tang Yao's pretty little face.

"I've already completed all the preliminary steps for that game plan... I've also brought the plan."

Tang Yao handed the document bag she had just thrown on the table to Li Xue: "I hope you can take a look at it and decide whether to help me introduce that investor."

"..."

Li Xue looked at Tang Yao, then at the document bag in her hand. After a moment of silence, she reached out and took it, smiling gently, "Aren't you afraid that I'll deliberately say no in order to keep you?"

"Will not."

Tang Yao shook her head and said seriously: "You are not that kind of person at all, otherwise I wouldn't tell you this."

"...It seems you are serious."

Li Xue saw Tang Yao's expression and sighed softly. Then she lowered her eyes and looked at the file bag in her hand. She whispered, "It's rare to make friends in the company..."

"Miss Li."

Tang Yao could see that Li Xue was very disappointed.

So she immediately pulled her to the chair, sat down next to her, and said comfortingly: "Just because I'm not here, can't we still be friends?"

"Of course you can, but I'm used to making lunch boxes for two..."

"Uh... then I'll sneak in here every day to eat!"

"Then you'll be exhausted to death... I'm not that arrogant."

Li Xue raised her head, rolled her eyes at Tang Yao, and then chuckled, "Alright, I'm just a little sentimental, not really sad. Don't bother to comfort me anymore. Like you said, not working together doesn't mean we can't still be friends. Don't worry."

“…So handsome.”

Tang Yao looked at Li Xue's fair and attractive profile and sighed.

In fact... she had thought about inviting Miss Li to resign together.

But as soon as this idea came to her mind, she rejected it.

She is just an ordinary editor, but Li Xue is not... She has become a deputy editor at such a young age and has a bright future.

It would be too willful and arrogant to let others gamble their careers and future for a future that Tang Yao herself is not sure of.

"I'm not like you. I'd be overjoyed if someone praised me for being handsome."

Upon hearing this, Li Xue gently raised the file bag in her hand and jokingly said, "I won't let you off the hook. If I didn't think it was a good idea, I wouldn't help you contact investors just because I praised you."

"Of course, please take a look."

Tang Yao nodded and gestured for her to open the file bag.

Li Xue stopped talking, lowered her head, opened the file bag, took out the plan inside, and began to read it carefully.

The proposal contains a lot of content.

But Li Xue read it very seriously, and it can be said that she put in the same enthusiasm as when she first became an editor.

But even so, there were still many things she didn't understand.

Combat system, enhancement system, card drawing resource allocation, card pool design...

Under these major items, there are detailed classifications and very long extended descriptions, which are often followed by a bunch of numerical values, and some places are also marked with illustration descriptions.

This caused Li Xue to read very slowly.

But no matter how slow you are, you will eventually finish watching it... after nearly forty minutes.

Li Xue finally raised her head and looked at Tang Yao who was sitting next to her.

Tang Yao asked quietly, "How is it?"

“…Actually, there are a lot of things I don’t understand, or I only have a vague understanding of.”

Li Xue looked at Tang Yao, who was so close to her, and composed her words. Then, she said softly, "But I can understand quite a bit. I've confirmed one thing: you are indeed serious, very serious... So, I will contact that relative to set a time for the meeting, and I'll let you know when the time comes."
